I think we need to setup a website that gives out about people that give out on the internet.

Yes! and then we can waste time, energy and bandwidth by re-discussing topics that have already wasted time, energy and bandwidth before, somewhere far less relevant, just cause we all enjoy the sounds of our own voices.

Seriously, Who ****ing cares if someone uses their phone in the cinema, if it annoys you then do the world a favor and just buy a home cinema system and never leave the house.

Oh! and don't get me started on Sarcastic people on the internet!

I always do it. I wouldn't answer a call or text someone though its just to check the time really. I would never notice someone else doing it, because normally Im looking at the screen not the people around me.

And why do you need to check the time

If you needed to be somewhere you wouldn't go to see the movie.
I think you are checking for txts.

I was in the Savoy recently (wow it's gone downhill). There was nothing to remind people to turn off their phones.

Yep I have pretty much given up on going to the cinema for all of the reasons mentioned above. I never used to have a problem in cinemas, generally. Over the last 5-7 years though, something has happened probably every second time or so I went. It basically comes down to this. Stick a bunch of young Irish people into a room for a couple of hours to watch a film and you are near guaranteed that there will be a couple of inconsiderate pricks in there who dont give a **** about anyone else. Its a sign of the times.

As well as other people causing problems, films are getting stupid long lately - 2 hours+ is the new standard length it seems?

Anyway, whinge whinge whinge... i got a home cinema and problems solved.

There was a fight in Cineworld the other night, think it was in the lobby, a friend told me about it

Ever see girls(and sometimes fellas too) pretending to be texting someone when their mate goes to the toilet or the bar?

Hmm funny

Was in cinema last xmas and some scangers kidzs were wearing those Xmas tree led runners everytime he moved his foot it caught my eye and ruined the whole experience for me, also hate people eating nachos, popcorn slurping drinks or the cheapos who buy their packets of crisps outside the cinema and put them all in a noisy plastic bag, also don't like little scangers who put their feet up on the chairs or smart arses who kick back of the chairs. So bad now I usually wait for movies to come out on DVD or else go to a really early show before the scangers are up and about and the cinema is empty.

I think avoiding people in general might be the best option for you

**** you! A packet of crisps,jellies and a drink will cost me less than a small pop corn in the cinema!

I recently told a group of young skangers to shut the f*** up in the cinema because they were talking about Deco being a playa and meetin sumtin like 7 boords in an hour

under cover of darkness of course, last thing I need is a hit put out on me

I guess that's why they are called heros.

Nightwish · 18-12-2007 08:29PM

I generally avoid cinema's because where large crowds of people, and are expected to be quiet, there's always going to be a few d!ckheads. I hate teenagers who are in there for the sake of being there - talking, texting, mutually masturbating etc, kids who dont stfu, eating noises, people with bladders so small they cant hold in the piss for 90 mins.

People with phones in cinema are pathetic little lost people who do not have any happiness in their lives without the need they have for friends in their lives.

No, in true warrior fasion they were left on the field of battle. Its OK though I'm sure the cleaner was happy to find a chocolate surprise, finely wrapped, waiting for him after he had to clear up the splooge from the couple having fellatio in the far corner :rolleyes:
